The Washington Post Style Invitational (weekly humor contest) once had a contest in which you were to take the first two lines of a Lear limerick and then finish the limerick on your own. It was presumably based on the widely-held view that Lear didn't finish his own limericks very well. It was a lot of fun writing limericks that way, something you might want to try yourself.

I was about to post an example but then I realized that posting one's own work is verboten here in General Announcements. I'll start a thread in D&A.
